Cleverly Ramsey and Sinclair in the same midfield could be pure pimp
CB is weak though

So Walcott/Ox can't get called up for this team because they were on the Euro's? or they just don't do that to give players a break.

I don't think there's a restriction. If you are under 23, you are under 23. I think it's purely a break.

It was decided quite a while ago that people at the Euros wouldn't be made available for the GB squad
Thought Chris Smalling might get the call though

Swans are the most represented club from EPL

No Scottish players?!! The GB team can frick off. Hope they lose every match.

GB. CHEATERSSSSSS
In all seriousness, Bellamy ? What a great role model for the young chaps. They needed Barton, as well. They would have more fireworks than the opening ceremony.

where are:
Kieran Gibbs
Josh Mceachern
Henri Lansbury
Jason Lowe
Marc Albrighton
Nathan Delfouneso
Connor Wickham
Jack Rodwell
Don't like:
Craig Dawson
Micah Richards (even though Pearce has a hard on for him)
Jack Cork
Marvin Sordell
Craig Bellamy (don't think he provides younger players with good role model)
Kieran Gibbs
Josh Mceachern
Henri Lansbury
Jason Lowe
Marc Albrighton
Nathan Delfouneso
Connor Wickham
Jack Rodwell

Pearce announces GB football team
where are:
Kieran Gibbs - probably injured? If he's healthy now Pearce probably just assumed he would pull a hammy in the first game
Josh Mceachern - did he play this season? A few sub appearances at Chelsea and 4 games at Swansea that's all
Henri Lansbury - no clue. He's gone on loan to the championship for 3 straight years, maybe arsenal isn't convinced he has what it takes for the epl
Jason Lowe - thought he played well when I saw him play this year but the reality is that Blackburn where just a big steamy pile of shite this season (much like villa but with more goals and less points)
Marc Albrighton - was a complete non factor for villa this season, he has no form or confidence. Hoping he can break out of his sophomore slump this year
Nathan Delfouneso - he might have a lot of talent but we've been waiting 3 or 4 years for him to show he has what it takes to be a professional footballer. Has gone out on loan several times and has yet to impress.
Connor Wickham - didn't he have a major injury early in the season? Don't think he played enough minutes to warrant selection
Jack Rodwell - fairly certain that it's injury related as I remember reading he wants to get his career back on track after several injury setbacks
Don't like:
Craig Dawson - don't like this pick either
Micah Richards (even though Pearce has a hard on for him) - he had a great season was very unlucky not to be in the euro squad (probably should have started over Johnson as well)
Jack Cork - probably wont play
Marvin Sordell - could have a breakout tournament. He impressed at watford and could be the main man for Bolton next season as they attempt come back at the first time of asking
Craig Bellamy (don't think he provides younger players with good role model) - clearly he has clashes with coaches/teammates but he's an incredibly hard worker and is always dedicated to the cause. Controversial? Yes. A bad role model? Not so sure

No problem
Should be an interesting team to watch. Or atleast it would be if Pearce wasn't coaching them.

Huh? Everything I hear is that he is a great teammate. He might be loud and obnoxious but he's dedicated to the cause and brings a ton of experience. He gets the job done.

Finding out that Bale went out to injury crushed my little heart.
